Indians as Bargain Drivers,

The T'ltnkits an Indian tribe in Alaska
re noted for driving hard bargains, and stop
1t nothing in order to enforce their demands.
Lieut.. Schwatka tells the story in The hide
PENDENT:
white man ventured in a canoe to pass
Trough the surf on a reef in the outer ha1bor
# an Alaskan port. The canoe was capsized,
nd the man was rescued by several T'linkits,
Who happened to be near In their boat, one of
whom grasped him by the hair as he was go
ing down "for good"
The Indian, instead of pulling the half
drowned man into the large canoe, held him
in the water till he promised TO pay a band
some sum of money, TO be divided among the
crew.
Lieut.. Schwatka himself fell victim to
sharp T'linkit woman. He had bargained
with her TO do some washing She took the
sOiled clothes, and in an hour returned and
demanded her pay. On being told that she
would be paid when the washing was brought
back, she led the lieutenant out of doors, and
showed him the washed clothes hanging on
the bushes. Her contract only called for the
washing. She had not agreed TO bring the
clothes back Exchange.

Sea Water as a Pre.ervatiye.

The capabiliry of sea water as a preserva-
tive Is shown by the fact that among the
articles recovered from vessels sunk in the
harbor of Vigo, Spain, in 1902, there have
been recovered specimens of logwoOd and
mahogany that, notwithstanding their lS4
years submersion, are in the most perfect
state of preservation. DyeTs who have ex-
perience with the logwood state that it is
even better for dying purposes than the wood
now imported. The mahogany, too, is very
fine and solid, one log twelve feet long
and twenty-five by thirty-twO inches square
being subsequently worked up in the shape of
furniture and walking sticks as mementoes.
The chief object of interest, however, is an
ancient pulley block four and one-half feet
high and three feet broad, with four solid
copper sheaves eighteen inches in diameter.
1t is Of solid oak, and was probably used in
hosting heavy articles of merchandise or the
anchors. The wood Is preserved, but an iron
band IS completely corroded away, while the
copper wheels are but slightly oxidized. -

BILL NYE ON HERALORY.


4 Little Information Tossed OF for the
Benefit of the Blue BIoods.
Heraldry had its origin in the former part
of a latter century, or the latter part of a
former century, cannot tell within a few
years; but during that time it was very COM
mon for those who could afford it to have at
least one coat of arms, or, if one was not able
to have a coat, he would originate design of
some kind and have it embIazoned on his
arms, as a sort of overcoat.
In England heraldry is quite popular, while
in the United States it Is made subservient to
the postOffice department, and attracts very
little attention officially The history of
heraldry is quite extensive and its origin is
extremely remote. 1t has been traced to the
tribes of Israel, and some claim that Adam
had a coat of arms If so l am glad to hear
OF it. even at this late day
l think that heraldry probably got a boom
at about the time when knights in full pan
Oply used to envelop their heads in CORFU
gated Russia iron and stab at each other with
pike poles We can readily understand that
a man dressed in full panoply could not be
identified during the tournament unless he
unbottoned the panoply and partially re-
moved it, so that the audience might know
who he was. This led TO the use Of a coat of
arms, and such terms as "tinctures," "ordi-
naries" and Charges.
A charge in heraldry has nothing 10 do with
the salary which is received by man who
has a coat of arms. 1t refers more especially
to a figure drawn either upon the field or
upon an ordinary. These charges may con-
sist Of griffins, wiverns, harpies or dragons.

the center. Place it in the sunshine. look on
tine central point steadily for minute or two
and then closing the eyes, and applying your
hand at about an inch from them, so as to
prevent too much light from passing through
the eyelids, you will see the most beautiful
circles Of colors the imagination can conceive,
differing widely from the colors Of the silks,
and also adding TO the richness of the expert
ment by changing in kaIeidoscopic variety.

BALANCED COOKING STOVES FOR SHIPS.
Between the fire box and oven are formed
boxes which may be closed by doors and
which serve as warming ovens to be used for
heating plates, etc. From the top Of the
stove rise arms supporting rods notched
IN the upper edges, and on these are placed
two movable weights formed with open
hooks, so that they can be easily shifted, in
order to be brought opposite any pan or ket-
Gle for proper counterbalancing and keeping
the stove in an upright position. When the
stove stands at an angle, the lower opening

the draught. To avoid this, the cup portion

thirteenth year he was able to converse
in Latin and could read difficult Greek
authors and the Hebrew Bible without
the aid of dictionary.
At The termination of his brilliant
student life he was ordained priest, at
an early age. In October, 1919, he
was admitted into the Society of Jesus,
at Hildesheim. His abilities were
quickly recognized and employed.
When Duke Ferdinand of Anhalt Ko-
then was converted to Catholicism
young Father Beckx became his spirit
ual confessor, and for a number of
years held the Office of priest of the
church which was erected at KOthen.
After the decease of the Duke he re-
manned at court with his widow, the
Countess Julia, with whom he subse-
quently went to Vienna. Previously to
this removal Father Beckx, as q ira
Yelling Jesuit, had traversed nearly the
whole continent of Europe, exciting
general establishment, not only by his
extraordinary eloquence, but also by
the facility and fluency with which he
spoke nearly all the languages of cult
waited Europe. His influence during
this time was potent in the highest po-
| litical circles
In 1847 Father Beckx was appointed
procurator for the province of Austria,
in which capacity he went to the Col
lege of Procurators at Rome. In the
following year the Jesuits were tempo
rarily driven from Austria and Father
Beckx went to Belgium, where, after
having held various places, he was APP
pointed rector of the Jesuit College at
Louvain. When the Jesuits were re-
established in the Austrian empire and
the revolutionary troubles had some
what subsidized Father Beckx supported
the projects of the Government, which
were favorable to the interests of the
Church. ii was entirely owing to his
influence that Cardinal Szeitowsky, pri-
mate of Hungary, succeeded in obtain
ing the reinstatement of the Jesuits in
that portion of the empire and in
founding the novitiate at Tyrnan.
In 1853 he was sent to the assembly
summoned to Rome to participate in
the election of successor to Father
Rootban, and was himself appointed
Superior of the Order of Jesus to fill
the vacant place. His services have
contributed greatly to the success of
the Jesuits since that time in various
European, and especially Protestant,
countries. At the time of the suppress
sion at Rome of the converts OF his
order he retired to Florence and became
The principal writer for the Cjvitta
Cdtiotic0. Besides some minor
writings and occasional discourses Fa-
tber Beckx published "Alois de
Mary" in Vienna in l843, which has
been translated into various languages
and gone through numerous editions.
The dead ecclesiastic was profound
scholar, skilful organizer, brilliant
and trenchant writer, and endowed with
rare executive talents. Owing to an
exceptionally vigorous constitution and
a life of abstemiousness he enjoyed
excellent health up to recent period,
and with his own hand kept firm grasp
ON the whole jesuit mechanism of both
hemispheres to the day of his death.
